New Delhi, Oct 2 (IBNS): Heeding to the clarion call by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi to fulfill the dream of Mahatma Gandhi of a Swachh Bharat (Clean India), the Ministry of Defence started the Swachhta drive here on Thursday.
The ambitious drive begun with the Swachhta Pledge being administered by the Secretary (Defence Production) G Mohan Kumar to all officers and staff of the Ministry at South Block.
The event saw the spontaneous participation of officers right from the Secretary level to Multi-Tasking Staff of the Ministry.
